| Abstract |
Dementia is one of the manifestations of late syphilis and it is characterized by cognitive deterioration and behaviour disturbances. We report on a male patient with cognitive decline, behaviour disorder, hyperactivity, hallucinations, short-term memory and Argyll Robertson pupils due to neurosyphilis. Minimental state test (MST) was 16. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein concentration was 82 mg/dl, CSF-leucocyte count 128 cells/mm3 (98% mononuclear cells), CSF-VDRL 1:4, and CSF-T.pallidum haemaglutination assay 1:2560. MRI showed no cerebral alteration, but SPECT revealed left fronto-temporal hypocaptation. He received intravenous penicillin. MST done 3 months after the treatment scored 22. A new spinal tap showed normal CSF. Neurosyphilis should be part of the differential diagnosis of every patient showing cognitive deterioration and behaviour disturbances. During follow-up, MMS is an useful instrument to ++measure cognitive decline and response to treatment. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 29. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 December 2023.
All research outputs
#1,360,849
of 25,709,917 outputs
Outputs from Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria
#19
of 1,376 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,592
of 115,494 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria
#1
of 49 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,709,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,376 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 115,494 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 49 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
